The beginning of Dragon Ball great sparked mixed reactions within the community, between those excited about the manga’s return and those who, on the other hand, just couldn’t take the passing of the baton from Akira Toriyama to Toyotaro. Still, it is undeniable that Sensei has made great strides in recent years.
Toyotaro’s style evolved alongside storytelling, as Akira Toriyama allowed him more creative freedom from time to time. But what are the secrets of the Dragon Ball Super designer’s style? In a new interview, the Sensei told some of the background to his work, which we can summarize as follows:

- As for thatultra ego andultra instinctthe lines are much thinner to resemble the basic pattern of toriyama;
- For the musculature, it is instead based on the style of the characters at the end of Dragon Ball: unrealistic but well characterized, with a priority on a “cold” pose rather than anatomical correctness;
- The final form of gas doesn’t have a name for it yet Toyotaro has yet to consult with Toriyama on thisa symptom that the latter still has some weight in the drafting of the work;
- The name of the planet Jaco often visits to get fat, which we have seen more than once, is determined by the readers;
- Regarding the next chapters, Toyotaro explained that we are now very close to the climax of the saga;
